Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019077564A1] A dispensing device (1) for dispensing cup lids (3) from a stack (2) of nested lids (3); the dispensing device (1) comprises a tower magazine (8), which is designed to contain a stack (2), and a denesting unit (11) arranged of the bottom of the tower magazine (8) to detach the lids (3) from the bottom of the stack (2) and comprising a plurality of denesting rollers (19', 19") rotatably mounted about respective substantially vertical axes; each denesting roller (19', 19") has a lower shelf (23), a first upper shelf (25) above the bottom shelf (23), and a second upper shelf (26) above the first upper shelf (25); some of the denesting rollers (19', 19") comprise at least a first separator (36) carried by the first upper shelf (25), and other denesting rollers (19', 19") comprise at least a second separator (32) carried by the second upper shelf (26); the denesting rollers (19', 19") are mounted to rotate about the respective axes between a rest position, in which the stack (2) rests on the lower shelves, and a single release position, in which the first separators engage the stack (2) to detach the last item (3) from the bottom of the stack (2); and to rotate between said rest position and a multiple release position, in which the second separators engage the stack (2) to detach at least the last two items (3) from the bottom of the stack (2).
